Marhaba! That's hello in Arabic! I look forward to meeting you in Dubai, showing you around our beautiful city and unveiling our culture! I was born in Kuwait to a Palestinian family! I lived there for a few years before we moved to Cyprus and later Jordan. My family run their travel business and I have been involved in the industry since a young age. It's what I always wanted to do; When I am not travelling myself, I want to spend time with travelers! I moved to Dubai back in 2009 and got my tour guiding license shortly after. A few months later, I was officially guiding people in the city! I find that through my work, I am an ambassador to the Arabic culture that is often misinterpreted. I love sharing my part of the story, a middle eastern woman who knows the ins and outs of our culture, who is proud of a lot aspects, yet who sees herself as a global citizen!

Booking a tour with Dana will likely be the highlight of your trip. She definitely was for us (And for my parents who had a tour with Dana a year ago and referred us!). Not only is she an amazing and well prepared guide, she is personable and about the nicest person you could find. We learned so much about old Dubai, its founding, how the early settlers lived, and...

January 2026Wow, thank you so much for this! I had such a great time showing you both around old Dubai and the souks. Those little stories and hidden corners are my favourite to share. I’m so happy the tour was a highlight for you and that the spice souk stood out. Your kind words really made my day. :D

Dana was wonderful, knowledgeable and fun. We toured as much of Dubai as one can in five hours, but did so with wonderful insight and flair. If you happen to be lucky enough to make it to Dubai, Dana is a perfect host
